...matter of fact, the situation in Greece was easier. The Greek government, with U.S. help, did defeat the Red guerrillas-but only after Marshal Tito closed the Yugoslav borders to Communist supplies after his epic quarrel with Russia's Stalin. The other great victories over Red guerrillas took place in similar isolation...
...arrival precisely the same space that Izvestia had allotted to Popovic. But there was more to Gromyko's appearance in Belgrade than such formalities indicated. On the government level, Soviet-Yugoslav relations have become steadily warmer, even though party propagandists still practice the name-calling inspired by Tito's 1948 split with Stalin.

And Roosevelt? He dips in his hand only for bigger coins." "The West will make Western Germany their own, and we shall turn Eastern Germany into our state . . . We shall recover in 15 or 20 years and then we'll have another...
